The dangers to life daily grow more
serious TO New York. The elevated roads
are being hourly subjected to Il strain for
which they were never intended. They
are forced to carry engines and trains OF
cars far heavier than were ever thought
to be necessary when the roads were
built, and trains are run over them at
intervals OF one minute. Often five or
SIX trains are In sight at once. Every
bridge wears out in time, and 50 II Will
be with the big bridge, called the EleVat-
ed Roads.
Constant repairing and tinkering alone
keeps the spructure in condition TO be
used When 1t gives out it Will so with
a rush.
Elevators were generally introduced in
New York eight years ago, consequently
they have had no time to grow old and
the record of accidents is small. Wire
ropes will break in time and other ma
chinery wear out,an eight years Use goes
long way toward II. The Building
Department has been on the lookout for
This danger and has ordered many cables
to be renewed. Bat 1t cannot keep
close watch on all the elevators in town.
When the elevator accidents begin they
Will follow one another rapidly.
The electric light cables and the in
Sulatp0 wires in hOUGGG haVA been
up but a short time. Insulation
wears off, rats bite it of in time, and the
surrounding woodwork - set on fire.
There have recently been many fires from
this cause. broken cable drops in the
street and its terrible current kills
wbomever It touches, or it crosses tele-
graph wires and plays havoc with the
dispatches.
The city is covered with a network OF
these wires, ana each one carries death
with it. AS they are not renewed very
often they become more and more danger
Gus as time passes.
ON Monday night District Attorney

fare. a neIghbor OF mine mentioned this
to Mr.. MARITIME, and be said:
Don't speak OF it; it distresses me.
This whole prosecution causes me much
sorrow. MeQuade has seven children
and a wife. / cannot but feel sympathy
for them. ONeiI, whom | am to try next
week, has eleven children. They must
all suffer If he is convicted, for unlike
McQuade, be is poor man. 1t is no

Every effort has been made by the
friends OF O'Neill to induce Mir. MARITIME
to be lenient. His one answer is ~ can
only follow out the line OF my duty"
The fashion in pet dogs used to change
from year to year, and this made good
business for the dog fanciers. King
Charles spitz, poodles, bull terriers,
black-and-tans, pugs, St. Bernards and
collies all had their day. EXtraVagant
prices were paid for choice specimens,
and no Woman OF fashion was happy un-
less she had her dog. Things have
changed and the dog tanoiers are In de-
spair-the fashion now is no dog. This
has undoubtedly been brought about by
the Pasteur excitement.
SO much was said and written about
the danger of dog bites, that women be-
gan TO regard their poodles as a source
of possible hydrophobia. Many women
have grown so nervous over trivial bites
that they have FASTENED Og to Paris to be
treated by Pasteur. We have heard very
little on this side of their reason for going,
but the facts leak out.
People who have visited Pasteur say
that he treats from six TO ten Americans
every day, and that many OF these have
been bitten by their pet dogs.
Some new pet Will have TO be FOUND 70
take the poodle's place, and now that Mrs.
Cleveland has mamoset why not intro
duce them? They are cunning, but have
a voice az shrill as the creaking of a
hinge. They are IN other ways detesta-
bic, too. Hence they may hone to become
fashionable.
